    Mortgagee auction for a development site: must I pay the architect?

    The S32 of this 130 year old property is a black and white copy of the title drawn on black pen on a red background. It is pretty much impossible to read the size of the block and measurements that are written are in feet and inches or completely obscured. The section 32/vendor statement...

    Mortgagee auction for a development site: must I pay the architect?

    Good advice in this thread for me. The Section 32 states "Bank in possession as mortgagee", the title seems to be an individual +/- his partner. I can't see any company names. I have tried searching for "Firstname lastname insolvency" in google but can't find much except that the original...

    Mortgagee auction for a development site: must I pay the architect?

    I was not aware when I won the auction and a bit upset, actually. The agent used RPdata rather than a site survey and RPdata is wrong. I obtained site survey from the architect showing size is 400.5. The agent advertised it as "approx 425sqm". The site is land value only - old house is not...

    Mortgagee auction for a development site: must I pay the architect?

    Purchased a development site at a mortgagee auction that came with plans and permits. From my further enquiries I discovered there was money outstanding on work done to date. If I construct the design am I required to pay? The architect is owed about $40k. The engineer is owed about $15k...
